Investing in early-stage crypto companies and protocols

Crypto projects are emerging from a new class of founders, engineers, and power users who are invested in the systems they build. Bitcoin, DeFi, tokens, and stablecoins introduce natively digital economic models that deliver real utility and onboard millions of users. The internet is moving past centralized platforms, toward a decentralized onchain economy.
Memo

Investing

We provide access to early-stage crypto startups by curating dealflow from across the builder ecosystem. Investors can participate alongside us on the same terms. With deep networks and hands-on knowledge of the space, our edge is in finding the right companies early and making them accessible to our community of investors.

Knowledge and Community

We publish content on the latest in crypto, part of our broader effort in onchain sensemaking {crypto x culture}. Our goal is to cut through noise and bridge the information asymmetry that keeps many investors on the sidelines. We also host a group chat to connect, ask questions, and learn.

Who are we?

We are a research-driven team that works directly with founders and engages onchain. By experimenting with protocols and participating in networks ourselves, we build a firsthand understanding of what is working.
